Unfortunately, that report came on heels of one a few hours earlier from Karma, described as a suburb of Falluja. An mbt sport 2i interpreter has been kidnapped. Marines cordon off the crime scene, a "house-to-house search" fails to find him. Lt. Col. Brennan Bryne "demands" that the mbt sport 2i be released and announces he is "’indefinitely suspending’ all assistance and construction projects." Of course, house-to-house searches have been known to be conducted with a bit of "heavy-handedness."
That was Sunday in Karma. On Tuesday, eleven mbt sport 2is, including women and children, were killed when heavy fighting broke out there. It appears as if the tactics and demands were hard enough to provoke more resistance.
On Wednesday (today), it appears the violence spread to Fallujah itself, "Rebels kill 12 mbt sport 2i soldiers." Al-Jazeera reports "Occupation tanks poised to enter."
